Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional radiation imaging systems face issues with misshooting due to unexpected screen transitions during actual imaging, leading to a reduction in imaging time and increased power consumption, particularly when patient information and imaging protocols take longer to input, causing a timeout and disabling the imaging state.
Innovation Solution
A radiation imaging system with a control apparatus that detects operator operations and inhibits transitions to screens other than the imaging enable screen, ensuring stable imaging conditions and power management by controlling the display and operation states of the radiation imaging apparatus.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If the radiation imaging apparatus changes to an imaging disable state to save power, then power consumption is reduced, but the imaging time is shortened and misshooting may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging enable/disable state is dynamically adjusted based on real-time detection of operator operations. The system transitions between power-saving imaging disable state and active imaging enable state according to actual operational needs, optimizing both power consumption and imaging reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The operation detection unit continuously monitors operator inputs and provides feedback to the state control mechanism. When operations are detected, the system receives feedback to maintain or transition to imaging enable state, preventing misshooting while managing power consumption effectively.
2Reliability
If the timeout time is extended to allow complete patient information input, then imaging reliability is improved, but the imaging time available for actual imaging is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The timeout mechanism is dynamically adjusted based on detected operator operations. When operations are detected during information input, the timeout period is extended appropriately, allowing complete data entry without unnecessarily reducing imaging time when operations are not detected.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection of operator operations during the information input phase. By detecting operations in advance, the system can adjust timeout settings proactively to ensure complete information entry is possible without compromising subsequent imaging time.
3Productivity
If the system performs imaging immediately after radiation detection without communication, then productivity is improved, but the risk of misshooting increases due to unexpected screen transitions
Solution Approach 1:
The operation detection unit provides continuous feedback during the imaging process. When operations are detected during imaging, the system receives feedback to maintain the imaging enable state and prevent screen transitions, ensuring imaging accuracy is not compromised by unexpected transitions while maintaining high productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The screen transition control is dynamically adjusted based on real-time operation detection. During imaging, if operations are detected, the system dynamically prevents transitions to maintain imaging accuracy. This dynamic control allows rapid imaging while preventing misshooting through adaptive screen transition management.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This solution reduces the likelihood of misshooting by preventing unexpected screen transitions and ensures sufficient imaging time while achieving power savings by managing the operation states of the radiation imaging apparatus effectively.
Implementation Method 1
a radiation detection apparatus is configured by stacking a phosphor on each pixel formed from a photoelectric conversion element and the like. The radiation imaging apparatus converts radiation into visible light through the phosphor, holds the visible light in the form of charges, and forms an image from the amount of charge read out.
